FIGURE 1 Palatable plant biomass of undisturbed and disturbed
plots across five sites (A) and each site (B) (mean ± standard error).
FIGURE 2 Plant species richness of the undisturbed and
disturbed plots across five sites (A) and each site (B) (mean ± standard
error).
FIGURE 3 Soil water storage of the undisturbed and disturbed
plots across five sites (A) and each site (B) (mean ± standard error)
FIGURE 4 Soil organic carbon stock of undisturbed and disturbed
plots across five sites (A) and each site (B) (mean ± standard error).
FIGURE 5 Soil total nitrogen stock of undisturbed and disturbed
plots across five sites (A) and each site (B) (mean ± standard error),
soil total phosphorus stock of undisturbed and disturbed plots across
five sites (C) and each site (D) (mean ± standard error), soil total
potassium stock of undisturbed and disturbed plots across five sites (E)
and each site (F) (mean ± standard error).
FIGURE 6 Relationship between palatable plant biomass and
plateau pika disturbance intensity across five sites (A) and each site
(B) based on linear models (LMs). An adjusted local smoothed regression
line (A) and five adjusted local smoothed regression lines (B) were used
to determine the relationship between the disturbance intensity and each
palatable plant biomass with data from five sites and individual site
data, respectively.
